บท 147: Revamping the Research Branch (1)

The conversation with Meredith and Charlotte lingered in Eli's mind for days. The fact that she said it out loud, just like that, also confirmed what she felt towards Leon. 

If it was before Leon went to his mission, Eli could always argue that her interest towards Leon was only due to her dependence on him as a co parent. 

However, she didn't have any alibi now.

More than six months apart, but Eli could feel her heart yearning for his presence day by day.

Eli could still remember that before, Leon's presence was one that she would prefer to avoid at all cost.
